Re: [wtr-general] Watir Issue with Japanese characters
Yay!! I have a found a way to make this work. Instead of using the text_field's set method directly setting the value to the text_field is working without any issues. Please find the working code which was able to enter japanese characters in a textbox. I saved the ruby script using the notepad++ editor in the UTF-8 without BOM encoding. Hope this helps other Watir users stuck like me. require 'paths.rb' require 'win32ole' require 'watir' WIN32OLE.codepage = WIN32OLE::CP_UTF8 #UTF-8 ### $Browser = nil ENV[watir_browser]=ie $Browser = Watir::IE.start(www.google.com) $Browser.text_field(:name,'q').value = 管理者 ### On Monday, November 26, 2012 11:45:19 AM UTC+5:30, Ashok Prabhu wrote: Hi Zeljko, I tried to read the japanese characters from an excel sheet.
